PowerBI Report Share through Workspace and PowerBI Apps

A. PowerBI Free and Pro versions

  • PowerBI free version doesn’t have the “Embed” and “Embed in SharePoint Online” options under the “File” menu. It can only publish dashboard and reports to the public. When dashboard and reports are published to the publish, the filter menu will not show in the view, so the end users can only use slicers to filter the results or interact with the dashboard/reports through cross filtering of visuals.
  • PowerBI free version cannot create Workspace, therefore not able to package reports in the Workspace into PowerBI app. You need a Pro licence to do that.
  • Only PowerBI Pro licence can view the PowerBI apps, the free version cannot.
